shut your mouth and wave goodbye.
Suddenly a million epiphanies have hit me at once, and I’m back to my Berlin mindset. I want it to stay this time, because Berlin-Isabelle has everything figured out in the least stable way possible, and Melbourne-Isabelle has nothing figured out in the most stable way possible.

I have set up my music so that I have the Killers blasting in one room, Artic Monkeys in another and Flula in the third. Add some fancy lights and we have a club with the best music selection ever.

Children in a Minnesota elementary school were found to be playing a game of freeze tag which they had dubbed “rape tag.” Instead of “tagging” someone to unfreeze then, the kids were having to hump each other.
We live in a day and age where school children are now using rape as a...

I am ridiculously tired (thank you, jet lag, still) and I want to sleep, but I’m too scared that I’ll have a dream like last night’s again, and I can’t deal with that, and I just really want someone in bed with me tonight.
I was just brushing my teeth, and I coughed a few times and little toothpaste bubbles started floating in the air. I wish little bubbles came out every time I coughed.

Someone make this a thing.
I need an English boy for formal, and we seem to be lacking around my area.

do the bad thing, take off your wedding ring.
Today was my last school photo day ever. EVARRRR. I am fairly sure it was the usual shade of horrible, but I can ignore that until I get my student ID.
Today was also the first day I used the thing that toasts your stuff in the common room, as well as my first Softball training session for the year.
I also my first Legal double, where Amy and I had cup-of-noodles (cups-of-noodles?) and it was...

Things are messy, I’m in over my head, I love it and I hate it and I wouldn’t change a thing.
I just had a huge argument with mum over social constructs for genders in relation to colour (boys can’t use pink etc. etc.), which concluded with me getting tears in my eyes, running upstairs and yelling ‘I hate society’.
Mature. Smooth. A+ arguing.

Here's something that's been bugging me lately.
ladyatheist:
Whenever I get into any type of discussion or debate with someone who doesn’t agree with me, they always comment about my tone. It always becomes about how I’m “angry” and how I need to “calm down”. What kind of bullshit is that? Why should that even matter? Why the hell is it so hard for you to focus on the conversation? Me being “angry” doesn’t invalidate my stance. You can’t blow...

What I remember from the first time I saw a harry potter book was the pretty cover. The artwork was detailed, the colours and had a well-balanced combination between dull mystical colours as well as warm and vivid ones giving that magic touch. On the top of that, it was decorated with shiny, silvery details. The logo, the entire summation...

daylight come and we don't wanna go home.
I miss travelling and travellers and Germany and Germans already. I do not want to return to reality. I definitely do not want to return to school.

I don’t know how to form proper sentences. I am barely breathing. I am fangirling over my roommate. I think he is my soulmate. I am also not sure how good his sight is so he can maybe read this. I am going to move my laptop.
As previous post implies, I am a sucker for English people. Let me recount 10 minutes ago:

I think my love for English people is getting a bit weird. My ears prick up every time I hear an English accent and I automatically want to run over and attach myself to them. So far, I have befriended around one Brazilian, one Canadian, 4 Frenchies, 6 Australians, and countless English people. This includes but is not limited to:
The first group of people we met (at least 10, maybe 12?)

all day, all night, what the fuck.
I am now in Berlin. So much has happened on this trip, I want to write a story about it (I actually did last week, and convinced myself that I was Sylvia Plath, but that’s a story for another time).
Even just mentioning that makes me want to write it all down here, but I can’t for fear or somebody taking it all the wrong way, or sounding like one of those people who likes to boast...
I had this great tactic for keeping my 4-seater to myself. Every time the train stopped I would start up a horrible coughing fit and blow my nose loudly and look horrible and sickly. This worked perfectly until my last stop, when I got too into speech writing and forgot, and now three people are sitting around me.

Tomorrow night I am most probably going out for cocktails (how fancy does that sound? I could have said ‘drinks’ or ‘dinner’ but I said cocktails) with girls from school, and I leave midday on Saturday, so this is probably my last night just chilling in bed, and also my last night of another HIMYM sesh on my laptop.
My room already looks like I am very much in the process...
